I think I’m gonna really need this in a month or two because of my project’s getting close to the deadline. I’m gonna buy it and I can review and give some feedback when (if) I get around to reading it
AstonJ
Nice! Perhaps you can write a little wiki up for us as well
Here are some links that might be of interest:
http://www.phoenixframework.org/v0.6.2/docs/deployment
https://pragdave.me/blog/2013/12/20/deploying-elixir/
https://github.com/boldpoker/edeliver
And of course our Deploying Elixir thread

Guys, don’t buy it
Don’t waste your money!
It is 13 pages book:
pages 1-9 - useless information (title, about book, elixir installation, mix new)
pages 10-13 - Hot deployment - same information is here for free
I am upset with it and I will try to return my money back!
unlikely
Looks like it’s still in progress? Is there a website or blogpost for the book or the author with more information somewhere? The leanpub page is a little light on details, and having a character in a popular sitcom with the same name as the author is defeating my google-fu at the moment.

I don’t know if it is still in progress, because there is no progress bar.
For example, here is progress bar and you are able to assume book progress.

@dgamidov I bought it and yes it seems to be a 13 page book BUT it says it’s in heavy development and they will be releasing the rest of the book as they progress. Anyway there’s a 90 days refund policy so if there are no updates in 90 days I’m gonna ask for a refund because right now all the info on there can be retrieved with a 5 minute Google search.
EDIT: Wow that book’s 10% complete and last updated a year ago. What kind of scam is that?
EDIT2: I’m actually referring to the other book @dgamidov posted in my first edit. This one: https://leanpub.com/web-development-using-elixir not the Deployment Book we’re discussing in this topic.
AstonJ
I have edited the first post asking people to view posts first - a book really does need to be more than 13 pages before it goes on sale, or this should at least be stated clearly
dgamidov
@sashaafm BTW, I mentioned that book as an example of progress bar - I have not read it.

I have just reached “Releasing Your Code” in “Programming Elixir 1.2” of Dave Thomas.
There is lot of information about releasing, deploying and upgrading application code
